Wine Description for Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2019 from Ca´ La Bionda
- Colour & Appearance
- Deep dark cherry red, almost black at the core with only minimal lightening towards the rim – a visual statement that already hints at the concentration of this Amarone.
- Nose
- Seductively complex and mature: dark fruits and wild raspberries meet black tea and marzipan. Particularly impressive is the flood of wild herbs, which lends the wine an almost Mediterranean depth. The nose promises greatness – and delivers it.
- Palate
- Opulent yet lively: The wine floods the palate with dense, concentrated fruit and natural fruitiness. Dried fruit and dark chocolate dominate, but are cleverly counterbalanced by invigorating acidity and stimulating tannin. At 16% alcohol, it remains remarkably balanced – a powerhouse with finesse.
- Finish
- Long, spicy and persistent with a hint of cocoa and dried herbs, which linger for minutes.
- Terroir & Origin
- The grapes come from the classic Valpolicella zones Marano and Fumane, where limestone soils provide mineral structure and elegance. Ca‘ La Bionda counts among the authentic artisanal producers of the region.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Classic Amarone blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. Fermentation with wild yeasts underscores the terroir-driven approach and lends the wine additional complexity and individuality.
- Food Pairing Recommendations
- This Amarone demands powerful partners: Ossobuco alla Milanese, braised beef cheeks, wild game ragout or an intense aged Pecorino. Also a delight with dark chocolate tart.
- Special Characteristics
- An Amarone that combines tradition and modernity – powerful, yet not overwrought, sweet, but not heavy. The wild yeast fermentation makes it an authentic expression of its terroir.
